Summary: Our group, and our pooch Junie B, had a wonderful two weeks! The house was spacious which was appreciated as a few people in our party had to work for part of the trip. Either the sleeping porch or TV rooms make great offices by the way. We loved the peek-a-boo view of the Sheepscot River although we only made the attempt to go down to the waterside once due to its steep and rocky nature. We were warned! Other aspects we loved: the fire pit and chairs, the well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, the screened porch for epic card games, the ceiling fans for those few warm days and nights, pretty artwork on the walls (tempted - but no, we didn't take any home), the rustic and comfortable charm of the house, and the responsiveness of both the owner and property manager (Heather is the best) to any problems and questions. There were thoughtful touches throughout such as jars filled with dog treats and lollipops to greet us as we walked in. You can tell that this is a well-loved home, and we thank you for allowing us to share the peace and tranquility of Westport Island. It was a magical two weeks!

Summary: We at times had up to 4 adults and 4 children. There was plenty of room and the house was very comfortable. The hardest thing to get used to was the quiet. Occasionally we heard Lobster boats going by but the silence was amazing!!! Al was great at communicating. We had everything we needed. Wi-Fi and connectivity worked well, I actually worked a few hours a day from Westport Island. 5 Island Lobster was great. Daphne’s pies on Main rd were amazing. We will be back. Harry

Summary: Our family of five (20 yrs old +) enjoyed our quiet week at the Doggett Castle Guest house. Plenty of spots to read and lounge. Loved the fire pit, and the ample screened-in porch. My dog & I enjoyed our daily walks to the property's ledge overlooking the water. The house is on a picturesque river (not oceanfront) where you can spot lobster boats in the morning. We were looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of many Maine resort towns, but Westport Island was probably the opposite extreme. Narrow pebbly roads make biking difficult if not impossible. Enjoyed the suggested excursions to other small towns nearby. Host was helpful, & caretaker was attentive.

Summary: We had a great stay. The house was as advertised - A quiet neighborhood, off the beaten path. We loved the screened porches and the room to spread out. We would have liked more direct water access (a dock) but Al was upfront about the site and offered information on where we could drop kayaks in close by. A great place for a quiet visit.

Summary: Our family enjoyed Al's home and had a great vacation. Historic property on acres of pine forest leading up to the water. The porches were perfect for reading and dining, we grilled, saw lots of wildlife, and took day-trips to Reid State, Bar Harbor area, etc.

Summary: Exactly as described. Perfect setting for reuniting with family members after 2019. Rustic but very clean, plenty of room for casual games and meals, and great location for exploring the Maine coast. Extras provided by host (i.e. coffee pods and garbage bags) were thoughtful and appreciated. Great memories. Thank you!

Summary: We so enjoyed our time at this property which was a step back to a slower time with beautiful views of the lake, time to build bonfires, ample room for everyone to work and good enough WiFi to zoom. Great location near many adorable towns including Bath, Wiscasset, Belfast, Camden, Rockland and Rockport. Portland is on the way so easy to visit on the way to and from the property.

Summary: We fell in love with the house at first sight and loved it more every day of our two weeks there. Westport Island is a wonderful way to experience Mid-coast Maine--close enough to everything there is to see and do, and far enough to give a guest a real taste of the awe-inspiring natural beauty of this coast. The house is comfortable and charming. And our hosts were gracious and warm. We can't wait to come back.
